A terrible tragedy and to be taken so young is difficult to understand.

I feel deep sympathy for his family and teammates.

RIP Phillip

    In my 71 years I cannot remember a passing of a sportsman that has brought a similar response from all over the globe.

    Astonishing.

    Sadly watched enzed completely dominate the pakis last night.

    they are building a team very well,although hard to judge when other countries are so weak.

    They certainly showed how to bat on flat AI type wickets.

    Brendon McCullum made this statement, earlier today:

    "On behalf of the BLACKCAPS I want to make the following statement. Our focus at the moment is not on our performances, it is all about Phil. We are heartbroken for Phil's family, Greg, Virginia, Megan and Jason. No one should go through what you guys are going through right now. We are reaching out to Phil's family, Michael Clarke and the Australian boys, medical staff, fans, all who have been affected by Phil's passing. We are also reaching out to Sean Abbott. You are all in our thoughts, our hearts and in Phil's case, our memories. Cricket is a sport, but the cricket community is a family. We are here for you, we are thinking ofyou."

    I have nothing to add.

    Last night,the kiwis refused to place a fielder in short even wearing a helmut.The commentator said BMc was quoted as saying they would rather lose the test than put a fielder under that pressure.

    Fox played highlights of Phil's magnificent ton against South Africa tonight, jeez I found it hard to watch.

    It will be very interesting to see how the Adelaide Test plays out when it begins on Tuesday, and the manner in which it's played. Will be working so won't get to catch a big deal of it apart from the final day.

    Cricket Australia, the BCCI and all the venues and partners deserve a lot of credit for the way they've handled everything during a difficult time.

    Some low life listed the order of service booklet from Phillip Hughes' funeral on eBay before the proceedings had even finished.

    Fortunately eBay had the decency to remove the listing.

    Disgusting.

    The team for the first test in Adelaide - 1 Chris Rogers, 2 David Warner, 3 Shane Watson, 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Steven Smith, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Brad Haddin (wk), 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Ryan Harris, 10 Peter Siddle, 11 Nathan Lyon.

    Hazlewood unlucky whilst Lyon needs to show something on a track that should suit, his form has been horrible.

    How's that b grade park cricketer of a captain of ours going?

    3 centuries, a wonderful tribute to the memory of PH.

    A number of critics of MC are no doubt reconsidering given the way the Captain has performed in the past couple of weeks.

    not reconsidering, but respecting a fine effort. and leadership from the front. he has to show this 'L' every test.

    Gee, lyon desperately needs a short leg and a captain that can set him one.Might get another 100 wickets.

    I do miss the easy catches that doolan dropped when there.

    Might help if he could bowl a consistent smart line. But I guess that's the captains fault.....

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
